A festering sanitation crisis has turned the Central Bank’s main branch on Kamptee Road into a health hazard, with raw sewage flooding the area for days—yet no concrete action from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) or Maha Metro.
The root of the disaster? Critical manholes tied to a major underground sewer line were buried during the Kamptee Road Flyover construction. With no access points or records left, sanitation workers can’t locate or fix the blockage. The affected line serves major buildings like Shriram Towers, Garish Heights, and the Central Bank itself.
“This is criminal negligence,” admitted an NMC official. “We can’t act unless the road is dug up again.”
Maha Metro, however, has washed its hands of responsibility, claiming the issue predates their work—a claim locals and civic engineers reject. Citizens had reportedly warned during construction to preserve manhole access. They were ignored.
Meanwhile, the public is paying the price. “This is a health emergency,” said Joseph M.A. of Mohan Nagar. “The stench is unbearable, and seniors can’t access the bank without wading through sewage.”
Neville Cassad, a bank customer, added, “Elderly citizens are being denied basic services. This isn’t just discomfort—it’s dangerous.”
“No pumps, no drains, no plan,” said Malcolm Bhamgara. “This is a total governance collapse. We pay taxes for dignity and hygiene, not this filth.”
With zero emergency response and rising pressure, insiders warn that the NMC may soon be forced to break open parts of the newly built flyover—wasting crores in public funds.
Nagpur doesn’t need more blame games. It needs action—now.
